This product is a great addition to the outside of your home. Small, compact and can be painted to match the coloring of your home. Works great for many things. Good storage unit at a great price. This can be purchased at your local Kmart stores nation wide.....

This is a great unit. We were looking for something that could fit along the side of our house, and not take up too much room yet still store all our summer patio furniture. This was it. It stored our two patio tables and chairs along with other items such as the lawnmower, our various planters their stand. our patio umbrellas, etc. My husband said that it was very easy to put together and he did it by himself without any difficulty. The 2 Wide doors allow easy access and the peaked roof allow piling things high. We have another smaller shed but the door was too narrow to fit our two hexagon tables without taking the legs off. This shed has a nice wide door so it is easy to maneuver anything in and out of it. It is tall and wide enough for everything we needed to put away, yet fit nicely against the side of the house next to our bushes. This was a perfect choice and I would definitely recommend it. It was a great price and a great value for the money.

I benefited tremendously from others' reviews in deciding to buy and build this shed, so I wanted to offer a few small points from my own experience to help others.
1. In getting the foundation right, the directions tell you to put this on a wood platform on a gravel base. Well, they don't specify the kind of gravel. The only kind of gravel available at most big box home improvement stores is too small to use--I tried. It says it's good for drainage, etc, but its so small that it slips around and doesn't form a solid enough foundation. You need to make sure that if you are putting this on a gravel base that you use large, angular gravel to get a firm foundation -- so check with local suppliers to find the right stone. Alternatively, I think a cheaper solution would have been the Featherlight HandiBlocks or Dek-Blocks, but it would have raised the foundation up higher than I wanted, but if that works for you, I think would be the quickest, easiest way to get the foundation right.
2. The directions specify that you need two pieces of 48 x 48-1/4 x 3/4" plywood for the top of the wooden base. That extra 1/4" of width would require buying a second sheet of plywood, and treated 3/4" thick plywood is almost $50/sheet in my area. I used a single 48x96" sheet of plywood, and the shed fit just fine. The one thing I didn't do (but should have) is to reduce the dimensions of the 2x6 frame by that same 1/4" to make the base and plywood line up perfectly. Not crucial, but it would have helped. The 4x8 sheet of plywood easily fits the entire structure.
3. Buy a rubber mallet -- I used a small sledge and a block of wood, but a rubber mallet would have been easier and made the project faster, and is a good tool to have around, and they are incredibly cheap.
That's it -- putting together the shed itself is a snap. Took two of us 2.5 hours of assembly after the base was complete. Very intuitive and seems sturdy. Well worth the cost, and grateful for an American made and well constructed shed. Thanks Sears!
